@TOXIC being the resident GY Senko expert, would you mind sharing a few tips about this?  Thank you.

Read back through the posts.  I did give some info to help rigging.  I always made it a point to take someone from the crowd in my seminars who thought the Senko was a 1 fish bait and I would have them rig it right there.  Then I could show them why their rigging was causing the problem.  There's no debate, Senko's are more fragile than others but believe me, it's part of what makes them work.

I found some 4 inch senkos that I either never used or barely used so I'm going to try your rigging method.

You might want to drop down to a 3.0 EWG hook with the 4 inch.

That's what I'm using. They're actually the only EWG's I have right now. Is the 4 inch a good size?

Sometimes they get bit better.  Some fishermen that I know use them exclusively.  I just prefer the 5 inch.

Alright, thanks. I got some 5 inch Yum Dingers on the way so I'll just test both of them.
